According to Anthony Liekins Last.fm user tag cloud, this year I'm more or less into hip-hop, indie, rock, alternative, singer-songwriter, electronic, acoustic, jazz, blues, indie rock, underground hip-hop, funk, folk, classic rock, pop, soul, reggae, alternative rock, southern rock, post-punk, underground, chill, jazz hop, chillout, 60s, blues rock and trip-hop.

My number one favourites in 2010 are Blue Scholars, an underground hip-hop/indie duo from Seattle, United States. I'm totally amazed by their performance - marvelous melodic samples mixed with social and political urban delivery, themes I always have had evaluate. For example, see Back Home about necessity to bring back US troops from Iraq war and 50 Thousand Deep, which is concerned about Battle in Seattle, the historic protest in 1999, as thousands of activists arrive in Seattle, Washington in masses to protest the World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference of 1999.

Fri 19 Nov – Junior | Australian Tour

Almost a year ago, Kaki King & co. made their way through here, on a sort of 'pre-album fly through'. This time, being the official tour in support of new album Junior, this was once again, a full band affair, with the lads onstage for the newer material & the familiar solo section midway for Kaki to trot out some older gems.

The Rescue Ships were the support & half the fun of their set was watching the faces around me turn slowly from confusion/uncertainty, to delight as their quirky yet adorable indie folk rock style tunes gradually won the crowd over!

(It takes a LOT for a support act to elicit audience participation in the form of clapping. These guys managed to get us CLICKING!)
Their only fault unfortunately, was the ultimate screw-up any decent opening band can commit: Forgetting to bring your CDs >_<
